  • 摘要:Waterway transport is the most economical compared to other modes and it causes less social and environmental impacts. However, cargo transportation in urban centers is a challenge to be studied, as it generates problems such as congestion, accidents, and high delivery costs. This research aims to identify acceptable international practices in urban waterway logistics and, based on these examples, identify, and analyze modal use in Brazilian cities comparatively. Initially, from a literature review, practices were explored in countries where waterways are essential in the transport matrix and used in urban areas. Subsequently, the modal use in Brazilian cities was identified and analyzed according to available information and relationships found among the cases studied. A field survey was carried out in the city of Belém (PA) and a comparative analysis highlighted a great potential of this city for the use of waterways as an aid to urban logistics. Given the importance of goods distribution for cities' survival, the identified implementation possibilities can contribute to their development sustainably and to reduce cargo vehicles' impact on the quality of life.
